Hi, I live in Poland.. Drive leaf for more than year. Climate is ok. Should be perfect for leaf. Summer is warm and hot but hottest are 2-3 weeks and then is nice .
I use Leaf Spy pro to monitor capacity. Last year since April to December I've got SOH reading between 97-99% until December. This year since January I saw quite big drop and every day. How does it stand vs hot weather? It was winter, not summer... And capacity started to drop rapidly.
In march I had ahr readings around 62, got software update capacity upped to 64 AHr, but after one week it dropped again to 62 and were falling. In April lost over 1ahr and now it says 59.70Ahr.
Should it last for a few months after update ? It returned to its back state just after one week! And my leaf mileage is 11.000 miles only! And summer is coming. SOH is now 90%
But considering topic. Saw few leafs with mileage over 60.000miles. All got still 12 capacity bars, so SOH is bigger than 85%. Climate was moderate like mine. So my theory is that it not matters if you charge to 80 or 100%... It just matters when you charge and drive... Charge and drive.... Thus cycling keeps battery in good state and you can drive over 60.000miles with all capacity bars.
So things gets damaged when not used or used rarely. Keep your Leaf driving as much as possible and your battery will be ok. What you people think about that?
